Dec 22, 2006 Updated: Dec 31, 2007I just finished rating the original and this is also an american dark lager. The original was pretty good. Why have I never rated this tho it is near my fingertips at every store? I spend so much time seeking out craft beers and it’s hard to respect anything that is so obtainable, you take it for granted it will always be there. I have always, for some reason thought of dundees as a macro. Finally, in the right place at the right time I picked up a craft pack. This one had five in it. Twist off 12 oz bottle, nice packaging. Perhaps a sweet aroma in the background of flowers. Pours a little sparkly then the bubbles and lacing disapear. Brown orange brown in my steeler stein. Has more bitter hops in it than the original and the original has none, so this is just a teeny more personality. Also, it seems to be a bit roasty. Though there is a lingering finish in the background of maly hang-on, it’s nothing like the offense implied by La Rossa. This brew is easy to accept, it reminds of of some bocks or octoberfests in a strange sort of way.

Dec 17, 2006 Amber with a small head. Sweet honey malt aroma with some metallic background. Taste recalls the sauce on a creme caramel dessert I had in Brussels. Starts sweet, becomes rather watery with some residual dryness. Not bad.

Dec 10, 2006 Beer mug, from bottle. No bottle date; sampled Dec ’06. Tall, frothy, off-white head, leaving a chunky center and fair lacing. Color is clear reddish amber. Aroma is sweet and buttery diacetyl. Light to medium body, average carbonation. Flavor shows a pretty good balance between malt and hops, actually, I just don’t like the taste of either. Finishes with a slight glimmer of hops, then fades to syrupy sweetness. "Not horrible" is the best I can say.

Dec 5, 2006 Bottle. Amber coloured with a large off-white head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Taste is malty, caramel and some light bitter hops. Light bodied, a bit watery in the finish. Not too bad.

Nov 28, 2006 Seems to me that all the JW Dundee’s have a great carmel look too them. Not much aftertaste. The head dies on you in a matter of seconds. No Hoppy flavor. But Its a good relax type beer.
